Serves 4 │ 1/2 cup per serving

The wok isn’t just for savory dishes. For this sweet stir-fried dessert, sizzling apples are combined with a sauce that’s fragrant with cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve this on its own or atop a scoop of fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt.

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in 1/3 cup apple juice. Set aside.

Heat a wok over high heat. Pour in the oil, swirling to coat the wok. Cook the apples for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring constantly.

Stir in the raisins and the remaining 2/3 cup apple juice. Stir in the brown sugar mixture. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Just before serving, sprinkle with the walnuts.
